One year later

Jan. 16, 1974 — Aug. 20, 2025

On this day last year, the metal world suffered a tremendous loss when former Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds lost his life at the age of 51 in a motorcycle crash in Atlanta, Georgia.

When the world learned of the news the following day, the members of Mastodon released a collective statement:

"We are in a state of unfathomable sadness and grief… last night Brent Hinds passed away as a result of a tragic accident. We are heartbroken, shocked and still trying to process the loss of this creative force with whom we’ve shared so many triumphs, milestones and the creation of music that has touched the hearts of so many. Our hearts are with Brent’s family, friends and fans. At this time, we please ask that you respect."

Hinds' musical legacy, of course, lives on 🎸
